Kaltura – How to Create and Edit Captions
Editing Captions
The steps below will show you how to edit the captions (CC) that are added automatically to your Kaltura media when you upload them to My Media. We recommend you review these captions before embedding your videos in a course because, like YouTube’s closed captioning, they are not 100% accurate and may be confusing to students depending on their degree of accuracy
Steps - Editing Captions
Go to your course in The Learning Hub and go to My Media.
Click the title of the video you want to edit the Captions for.
Scroll down, click the Actions drop-down and select Edit.
Click the Captions tab.
Click Edit Captions.
Click the Play button on the video player. As you listen to the video, you will see the captions appear and can click in the editing boxes to edit the text as needed.
You can re-chunk longer captions by first, copying the caption box (mouse over the caption and click the plus (+) sign), then re-setting the timing of the captions and editing the text in the copies.
Delete caption boxes by clicking on the trash cans.
Search and replace specific words.
Double check your work by playing the video after making changes. And click Save as you go, and when you are done.
Uploading Captions
The steps down below will show you how to upload captions to your video if you would either like to replace the captions that are automatically created by Kaltura or if you would like to create custom captions for videos without an audio track.
Steps - Uploading Captions
